os.fchown, avoiding a race condition

[John Leach]

Hi,

I haven't managed to find any reference in python (any version) to the
unix system call fchown (SVr4, SVID, POSIX, X/OPEN).  There is chown, but
not fchown.

I'd like to create a file as a different user but would like to avoid a
race condition by chowning via the file descriptor, but it seems I cannot.

Does anyone know why this seems to be missing?  Any plans for it to
appear?  Any other way I can do this?

Thanks in advance.

-John.
